Tag Archives: jello with grass fed gelatin

Homemade Jello? I mean, it couldn’t be easier to do! And did you guys know that gelatin, when sourced from grass-fed cows like Great Lakes Gelatin, is soooo good for you? Gelatin is a great source of collagen and has numerous health benefits: It’s great for your skin, helps prevent stretch marks in pregnant mamas, boosts metabolism, strengthens joints and bones, strengthens nails and hair, helps boost the immune system, improves digestion, provides a great source of protein, and has amazing anti-inflammatory properties. Phew. Why wouldn’t you eat it?! And, this recipe is SO MUCH cleaner than those little store-bought boxes filled of artificial sweeteners, artificial flavors, food dyes, and surely not gelatin from grass-fed cows. So, ditch the box, and make your own. You’re gonna love it. If you have kids, they will too. But honestly, who says jello is just for kids? I just made another batch and didn’t share any with the kids… Alright, hope you all enjoy!

INGREDIENTS:

2 cups fresh fruit juice (I juiced 12 little clementine oranges in the batch shown in the photo, but have made it with grapefruit, and also various berry mixtures)

METHOD:

After 5 minutes, turn on stove to medium-low. Stir constantly with a whisk until gelatin dissolves completely. This will only take a couple of minutes. Do not bring liquid to a boil.

Turn off the heat, stir in maple.

Pour into 9×9 pan, and allow to cool for about 20 minutes, or until no longer steaming. I like to line my pan with parchment, so when it is ready to eat I can remove the whole jello square instead of trying to remove individual pieces. I cut it all at once, and store in airtight container in refrigerator.

Place in refrigerator for 2 hours, or until firm.

Cut, and enjoy!

... She seeks wool and flax, and works with willing hands... She rises while it is yet night and provides food for her household... She looks well to the ways of her household, and does not eat the bread of idleness...
